Today turned out to be a big day for Alex - he lost his first tooth! Coincidentally, it was also his first night of soccer practice - you do the math. That's right, a little bonk with one of his cousin's, and his loose tooth popped out! Alex was a little nervous at first because there was a little bit of blood.
In this picture, you can see the permanent tooth behind the hole - wedging its way in (along with a nice Gatorade mustache). Alex ended out being happy he lost his tooth the way he did because it was relatively pain-free and quick!
Here's Alex in some of his favorite jammies - Cowboy Woody - with his lost tooth. He's all ready to put it under his pillow and wait for a visit from the tooth fairy. He thinks the tooth fairy brings a dollar a tooth - I guess that's the going rate these days. I told him when I was little, I only got like 50 cents. Then he asked me if they had TV when I was a kid - I'm not that old! Well - thank heaven for little boys!
